King James Version
1. Now some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me. 2. And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 3. "Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and put before them that which causes them to stumble into iniquity. Should I let Myself be inquired of at all by them? 4. "Therefore speak to them, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: "Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols, 5. "that I may seize the house of Israel by their heart, because they are all estranged from Me by their idols."’ 6. "Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: "Repent, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations. 7. "For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who separates himself from Me and sets up his idols in his heart and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, then comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I the LORD will answer him by Myself. 8. "I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of My people. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. 9. "And if the prophet is induced to speak anything, I the LORD have induced that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel. 10. "And they shall bear their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be the same as the punishment of the one who inquired, 11. "that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me, nor be profaned anymore with all their transgressions, but that they may be My people and I may be their God," says the Lord GOD.’" 12. The word of the LORD came again to me, saying: 13. "Son of man, when a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out My hand against it; I will cut off its supply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it. 14. "Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness," says the Lord GOD. 15. "If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they empty it, and make it so desolate that no man may pass through because of the beasts, 16. "even though these three men were in it, as I live," says the Lord GOD, "they would deliver neither sons nor daughters; only they would be delivered, and the land would be desolate. 17. "Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, ‘Sword, go through the land,’ and I cut off man and beast from it, 18. "even though these three men were in it, as I live," says the Lord GOD, "they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but only they themselves would be delivered. 19. "Or if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out My fury on it in blood, and cut off from it man and beast, 20. "even though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live," says the Lord GOD, "they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness." 21. For thus says the Lord GOD: "How much more it shall be when I send My four severe judgments on Jerusalem––the sword and famine and wild beasts and pestilence––to cut off man and beast from it? 22. "Yet behold, there shall be left in it a remnant who will be brought out, both sons and daughters; surely they will come out to you, and you will see their ways and their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the disaster that I have brought upon Jerusalem, all that I have brought upon it. 23. "And they will comfort you, when you see their ways and their doings; and you shall know that I have done nothing without cause that I have done in it," says the Lord GOD.
1. Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 2. "Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any other wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? 3. "Is wood taken from it to make any object? Or can men make a peg from it to hang any vessel on? 4. "Instead, it is thrown into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both ends of it, and its middle is burned. Is it useful for any work? 5. "Indeed, when it was whole, no object could be made from it. How much less will it be useful for any work when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned? 6. "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 7. ‘and I will set My face against them. They will go out from one fire, but another fire shall devour them. Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them. 8. ‘Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have persisted in unfaithfulness,’ says the Lord GOD."
1. Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. 2. And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son , to betray Him, 3. Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, 4. rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. 5. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. 6. Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, "Lord, are You washing my feet?" 7. Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this." 8. Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." 9. Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!" 10. Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you." 11. For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, "You are not all clean." 12. So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? 13. "You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. 14. "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15. "For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16. "Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17. "If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 18. "I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19. "Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He . 20. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."
